“I can assure you that those of us who have woken up to corruption aren’t going back to sleep. People don’t go back to sleep after waking up from this dream.

Justice
“If judges do not act justly, then individuals do not have the opportunity to act mercifully.” Good Kills: God, Good and The Sword, David Engelhardt By: Gabriela Yareliz One of the most comforting attributes about God, to me, is the fact that He is just. I don’t know why I find so much comfort inContinue reading “Justice”
Arbiters
By: Gabriela Yareliz As someone who interacts with Christians from all political leanings online through my website, I have observed how subtly and yet blatantly we have turned from Scripture on many issues and sort of made ourselves our own little gods. We often gravitate toward whatever makes us feel righteous, good, included and unlikeContinue reading “Arbiters”

What becomes real for us lies in our choice. In other words, if weContinue reading “Choosing Our Reality”
Bonhoeffer’s Journal
Even while being a minister playing games to escape the attention of the Nazi government while at the same time provoking them, Bonhoeffer kept a journal. This is how we know so much about his thoughts as he traveled, escaped trouble, landed in trouble, was imprisoned, met people and studied Scripture. This was a timeContinue reading “Bonhoeffer’s Journal”
